Figure 2

Distribution of subtypes and recombinant viruses. The pie chart represents 66 strains for which sequences from at least 2–3 gene regions were available for comparison; the subtypes in the pie chart represent concordant phylogenies suggestive of possible “pure” subtypes; the CRF01 and unique recombinant viruses are indicated in the pie chart. Table 2 summarizes subtypes of unique recombinant viruses.
